Blue paint looks cool ^ never seen that color combo

Yea it's a cool color. I'm just not crazy about the gold in the graphics or the gold wheels. I opened the purple one and it feels like the graphics are on top of the clear coat so I'm gonna try to strip the graphics off without hurting the paint. If it doesn't work, oh well, I was planning on painting them anyway. Lol.

I have a big time gto with some torque thrusts that I'm gonna steal the chassis a wheels off and try to make it work on one of them.

And another is gonna get something like this

Yes the hot wheels use what's called tampos. Basically the graphics are stamped n, just use a q-tip and some nail polish remover and the graphics will wipe off without hurting the paint underneath usually

That one from Lukes is sick. Guy knows what he's doin.

Been looking at a new project idea recently, and am wondering if any of you guys have ever done any resin casting of model parts? Or anything larger?

 

[Matts_Sierra]

you guys ever run across these? could adjust suspensions, add bumpers, wheels... I ended up a buncha civic and intergras of these. then I came across a few f150s and escalades. ill have to look for them. I gotta bunch of diecast1:18 scale cars/trucks that I started to mod too. never really got into this modding of hotwheels or that small of a diecast. But maxh youre killing it with your collection

 

[James Pate]
